I am trying to find something to mark gridlines on my fabric, cotton Aida or Linen (Is that cheating?).  I keep making mistakes without the gridlines, especially on linen, and tried pencil, both graphite and colored varieties, but they don't come out very easily, and scrubbing is bad for beadwork.  Any suggestions? Thanks!

estos ultimos son muy faciles de encontrar, en papelerias o en bazares.
existen opiniones diversas de experiencia, hay personas que dicen tras planchar pudiera volver a aparecer lo marcado pero sería en condiciones muy adversas de frio. No lo he comprobado pero yo trabajo con estos boligrafos y me va muy bien.
